Judith Sloan is having a hot run in the unpopularity stakes at the moment. From The Australian:
JUDITH Sloan makes some false assertions about how one of my
reporters does her job (“Paper’s slant against self-managed super is
just so wrong”. 2/9). Sloan suggests she’s “pretty sure” the journalist
did not ferret through the Australian Taxation Office website to get
figures about self-managed super funds and that she was “probably fed
them” by industry super funds.
After speaking to the reporter, and
backed by my knowledge of how she works, I am more than pretty sure
that Sloan is wrong. My reporter got the numbers from the ATO. She was
not fed them by interested parties.
It is one thing to vigorously
contest issues. It is another to make false claims about the
professionalism of a journalist because you disagree with the angle of a
story — all without checking your assertions.

That's what she does, makes things up
She is a truly nasty piece of work.
A lot like Anne Henderson (poor old cadaver Gerald's wife)
